Yes, before the parties swapped sides.

Bullshit myth. Alabama didn't become a majority Republican state until the 80's.

Democrats of 1919 would have embraced Trumpybear's racist tendencies. Though they probably would have thought of him as a light weight pussy as far as racist pricks of the time go.

tree was POSSIBLY cut down by the same people that planted it so as to make the news as a Headline Tommy . .

The blurb says the tree was planted earlier this year, so I doubt it died of old age. It is not known who destroyed the tree but the reason seems pretty obvious, and with all the Confederate statues coming down from public property, it could be justified in some minds.

I never heard of this "Elaine massacre" though. Time to read up.

50 years later, Tulsa wasn't teaching this bit of history in schools either. Doubt too many people have heard about it nowadays either.

Progressives then, progressives now.

Woodrow Wilson was the racist leader of the United States during the Red Summer. So, did this Progressive Democrat by defending the KKK lead us to the murders in 1919?

It is a shame that people cut down a symbol of remembrance. We need these pieces of history to remain as a reminder that hate of ones neighbor regardless of race, color, or religion, is wrong.

Arkansas: tree honoring 1919 Elaine Massacre victims cut down

Officials are investigating after someone cut down a willow tree that was planted earlier this year to honor the victims of the 1919 Elaine Massacre in eastern Arkansas.

The willow was planted in April in remembrance of the victims of the massacre, one of the largest racial mass killings in US history.

It occurred during the summer of 1919, when hundreds of African Americans died across the country, at the hands of white mob violence during what came to be known as the “Red Summer”.

Estimates of how many African Americans were killed in Elaine range from the low hundreds to more than 800, which would make it the deadliest such massacre in US history. Mass graves are thought to be situated around the town.

Events are planned for later next month to mark the 100th anniversary of the massacre. An Elaine Massacre Memorial will be unveiled, the committee behind it including descendants of those killed and those who carried out the killing.

This is all very sad, Will the President be attending the ceremony ?

I hope he doesn't! It's a waist of time.

FDR was a Republican? Really?

When did they "switch sides"?

Was LBJ a Republican?

Odd that a Welsh Jihadist worshiper is so heavily invested in the democrat party.

Hmmm...LBJ...the guy who signed the Civil rights Act into law? Yeah..he was a Democrat--and yeah..he used some objectionable language..so what? He did more for Civil Rights than any repub...maybe even Lincoln.

How little you understand history & society. Democrats just got smarter. Instead of chaining blacks to a field, they've chained them to a vote with the promise of free shit.

Naw, he's got important things to do like keeping this country from falling to the likes of filth like you.

Because it is the truth. But you fools don't like it..so you perpetuate YOUR lies...and try to spread as much shit as you can.

Everyone with a brain knows about the ideological switch....but someone thinks that by trying to blame slavery on modern Dems..they can divert attention from the Repubs..and their small tent, non inclusive party.

In 1919, almost everyone..of either party..would be considered racist by our standards.

That's for sure..fooling you can hardly be all the great a feat!

FDR was President in the 1940's...the switch did not take place until the early 60's..with the passage of the civil rights act and the departure of the Dixiecrats from the party.
